The CCMS Director Dr. Margarita Stancheva was invited speaker at an interactive Blue Economy Roundtable of the ULTFARMS Capitalisation Workshop.
On 5th of November 2025, the Technological Corporation of Andalusia (CTA) in representation of the ULTFARMS project hosted the Capitalisation Workshop, which aimed to advance low-trophic aquaculture development in offshore wind farms and accelerate its commercial deployment. The workshop brought together stakeholders from across the blue economy, research, and investment sectors and included interactive online sessions designed to accelerate the transfer and scaling of innovative solutions for offshore multi-use farming.
The workshop opened with an introduction to its objectives and expected outcomes, followed by a showcasing of the project pilots, highlighting innovative approaches, key achievements, and lessons learned across different European contexts. The following dedicated Capitalisation Session served as a platform to identify synergies, share cross-pilot insights, and address common challenges, while exploring how innovative solutions can be adapted and transferred across regions and sectors.
The event culminated in a Blue Economy Roundtable, bringing together pilot leaders, researchers and investors to explore opportunities and risks, creative financing mechanisms, and pathways to scale promising multi-use offshore solutions.
